Hello,

I read in the paraview super build webpage that there’s a sdk, but only available on linux. I dont know how old is that info. Are there any updates on the visual studio- windows support?  
I was planing on building a paraview plugin to my current dev env. Any help on how to do this ?  
I tried building paraview’s source code in vc12 (2013), but it throws a bunch of errors on vtklzma, vtkguisupport, pqCore, etc…

Thanks in advance.

Building ParaView and ParaView plugin for your own env is a very standard task.

Please see here :  
[https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build\_And\_Install](https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install)

You do not need the superbuild for that.

I followed the steps on the first link, but I keep receiving these errors:
